Moon Babysitter to Stand Trial for Child Endangerment
Police found a man passed out in a Mooncrest home, neglecting a 4-year-old in his care, according to court records.
A Moon Township man discovered drunk and sleeping while a four-year-old girl in his care was unattended in a bathtub will stand trial on charges of child endangerment.
Peter Weaver, 31, is accused of neglecting the child on March 21, when a bus driver reported to police that he could not drop off a 7-year-old girl at the home because no one answered the door.
The bus driver said he could see a small child running in the home, but no one answered the door.
